Great content , nothing like a good panfish fight .....where'd you get that neat little fan?

[@FishYanker]

Thank you. Yes sir. I sure have fun catching them and they are good to eat. Look Underneath the video in the description box, I have a Amazon link for this cooling fan. I used it all summer last year and I love it. It lasts all day and it's rechargeable also built in a power bank and light.

[@ky22cross70]

We’ll take em!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@FishYanker]

Thank you 😊

[@sistaslab3159]

Wow those are some nice fish I love it

[@FishYanker]

I am Hoping to find some more around the full moon. Maybe the bite will be more aggressive. So fun to catch. Thank you Sista Slab 😊

[@billramsey7455]

It drives me crazy watching these videos. I've GOT to get on the water. Great video. Stay safe, and God bless you.

[@FishYanker]

Yes Sir, That's how you find out where they're at. 😂 Thank you Bill. Stay safe and God bless you too.

[@rl2109]

Nice box of fish! Beautiful scenery! I predict a fish fry in your future! God bless ALL of us! WWG1WGA

[@FishYanker]

Yes sir. Thank you. Trying to plan a fish fry video. hopefully coming soon.

[@ppdrawings]

Man!!! I remember catching bluegill back in the day ••• I wish I had somewhere to fish for them now. *The good`ol days*

[@FishYanker]

Yes sir. Now is a great time to go looking for them. They're getting ready for the spawning beds right now! 😃 Full moon is coming soon

[@ProudPapaw88]

Yank!!! Man, I can smell the grease from them slabs! Nice catch Mr. YANKER. Thanks for sharing and have a great rest of the week!!

[@FishYanker]

Yes sir. Thank you and hope you're weekend is a great one.

[@BurqueMD]

Nice one! I agree, those brim are the hardest fighters pound for pound

[@FishYanker]

Thank you. Yes sir strong fighters. lots of fun 😊

[@samsoutdooradventures88]

Some nice red ear and blue gill. You always seem so chill out on the water lol. I enjoyed the video! It looks like the ACC Crappie Stix is working good for you.

[@FishYanker]

Thank you. Yes sir, I love it out here on the water. I am glad you enjoyed the video appreciate you watching. For the type of fishing I'm doing, this 6 ft 2 dock shooter is working great so far.

[@keithwest6859]

This was a great video! Thanks for filming this!

[@FishYanker]

Thank you. glad you liked it And thank you for watching Keith.

[@DoubleMFarmHomestead]

Like others have said, I believe that dark one was a blue gill/red ear cross. Around here (SC) we call them "black bream". Enjoyed the video, new sub here.

[@FishYanker]

Thank you for the info and sub. I appreciate it and hope you enjoy the channel. I will try to remember the name (Black bream in SC)

[@ericpierce4510]

That Eye design came about by The Bass Professor ( Doug Hannon )years ago, to help with casting distance by stopping what's called line slap, or the line slapping the rod. It also controls the line not becoming trapped on the reel side of the Reduction guide.

[@ericpierce4510]

Great looking gills and red ear too. Great table fair for sure...

[@FishYanker]

Wow! great info thank you.I never even seen one before until now. I do like it especially on this 6ft 2 dock shooter.

[@camhester4251]

nice , my biggest red ear was 14 inch's caught two that day that big

[@FishYanker]

Wow😲 then had to be some monsters to fight. Nice!

[@terrisecasy6568]

Man great video I thought that one fish was trying to kiss you when he jumped out of your hands. I haven't started yet I can't wait 💯💯💯💯💯💯👍🏾

[@FishYanker]

😂 Yes these things flip and flop pretty aggressively. Good fun and strong fighters. Full moon is coming soon. Best times for me are 4 or 5 days before and after the full moon. I'm hoping to get in a bunch of good ones. We shall see. 😁

[@bryanwooten8228]

Awesome 👌🏾

[@FishYanker]

Thank you

[@user-tx1oc3cb5g]

Thanks for the video as usual. I think your fish was a hybrid bluegill and red ear. I watch Cole and Jay's channel also and they catch quite a few of them at times around the Conway area.

[@FishYanker]

Cool! Thank you. I was thinking so but was not 100% sure. Yes I have watched Cole and Jay's channel. I Love their fishing area too, it's pretty awesome. They have Great content.

[@ronmayo8591]

Another great video. Always fun watching you. Wish the weather and funds would work out better here for me. Would love to get the boat out of the garage. Hopefully soon.👍🎣❤️

[@FishYanker]

Yes sir I understand that. I am very lucky to have my wife She supports what I'm doing. She also controls our budget that helps me out a lot. 😂 Thank you Ronnie

[@NettingwithNick]

Great video. I've been looking at those brand of rods for a while. Might grab one next time I'm in need of a new one

[@FishYanker]

Cool. I am going to get a another 6'2 dock shooter. I like this one a lot.

[@TorrisWhite]

Nice content!

[@FishYanker]

Thank you it was a pretty good day. I had a lot of fun catching these strong fighting bluegill and shell crackers. The rod I was using did a really good job. I would definitely use it again. Feels good in my hands and It cast great. I am pretty impressed so far. I sure do appreciate you watching thank you Bob Sims

[@clintonevans4633]

checkin in from New Orleans aka the Big Easy with my Brudda Fish Yanker

[@FishYanker]

Yes sir thank you Clinton. Thought I'd go out here and catch a few of these bluegills and red ears. It was fun 😄

[@levenixriddle6107]

Hey Fish Yanker I enjoy your videos. I live in Stafford VA. and been itching to get to the Pee Dee rivers to fish. How is the bank fishing there?

[@FishYanker]

Thank you I am glad you enjoy the videos. I am fishing the Cache River here in Arkansas but I heard a lot about the Pee Dee Rivers. I'd like to take a trip and check it out one day.

[@1countryway1]

Your videos are great! Can you answer me this….Why do you use jig heads so much? Is it a weight/hook combo or does it sit better than a traditional hook? No doubt what you are doing works but im just getting back into bream fishing and need to increase my results

[@FishYanker]

Thank you. The main reason is so I only have one object below the slip bobber, easier to cast endless tangles. Also a flash of color to draw attention. And probably my favorite reason to use one is I have a handle, easy hook release. I have nothing against traditional I did it for years this just works great for me for what I'm doing now.

[@lewisspeed3041]

Great video,I almost didn’t see this one,how deep should I fish a bettle spin?

[@FishYanker]

Thank you. For bream, I would fish a beetle spin around 2 foot.

[@lewisspeed3041]

@@FishYankerthanks for the help,I appreciate you

[@FishYanker]

Yes sir 🙂

[@gregcrisp8743]

You caught a good mess of fish, I wanted to see final catch 🎣

[@FishYanker]

Thank you. Once the smaller ones started biting, I kept catching small ones so I didn't put them all on this video. But if you like seeing the smaller ones I can put them all on next time. Or do you mean all the fish in the cooler. If so I have a short video of that I will post now

[@tonyknott3789]

Have you ever tried 1/32 underspin tipped with a worm to catch those bream/sunfish

[@FishYanker]

No but I might need to try that. thank you

[@neabowhunters8107]

Ever use strait braid?

[@FishYanker]

Yes sir. But when I miss a fish and the lure comes by flying past me, my line gets Tangled and I cannot see good enough to untie the knots. Other than that I like braid line. Very strong and sensitive to the bite. I use the bigger stuff on my bass rods. Power pro

[@firstlady2081]

good evening fish yanker, my husband would like to know what's the name of this fishing lake that your're fishing from?

[@FishYanker]

This is Cache River

Its a hybrid ,blue and red ear cross

Cool. I was wondering but I wasn't for sure. I appreciate your comment. Thank you

[@timothythomas3820]

Today is Thursday May 9,2024. Hello ! I was looking at the ACC crappie stix 8 foot super grip grip spinning rod . Would you recommend me to buy that rod for casting for shells crawler and red ear and bluegills and crappies from the bank using live night crawler and live minnows and live cricket as my baits to catch them please if not which size ACC crappie stix spinning rod would you recommend me to buy please. May the lord be in your heart today to answer all of my questions please and may the Lord continue to bless you and your family and your KZbin channel in 2024 please 🙏🙏 ! You’re my favorite KZbinr. Can you please do a little more casting for shells crawler and red ear and bluegill from the bank KZbin videos in 2024 please 🙏

[@FishYanker]

Well I also have a 7 ft ACC crappie stick similar to the 8 ft one that you're talking about, but I do not recommend it for bluegill and shell cracker. The Acc 6 ft 2 dock shooter rod that I'm using in the video, I would recommend. It's a easy casting rod with a good back bone that will work really good from the bank or boat. God bless you and thank you

[@scottjordon]

@@FishYankerbe careful with this guy Yanker!! He’s always asking what rod you and others recommend!! He’s been doing this for 3 years that I know and if he ain’t bought a rod and reel by now then he ain’t gonna get one!! 😊

[@FishYanker]

Thank you scott. I will be careful.

[@obaajao1991]

@Fishyanker I seen in a comment that you didn’t recommend the 8ft ACC crappie stick compared to the one you were using.. my question is what’s gonna be the difference in 1 foot ? I do bank fishing all the time and I’ve been trying to find the right ACC Crappie stick to be able to cast far enough as well as it being dependable if something big grabs it.. lol trying to find the right reel as well

[@FishYanker]

So far out of the two that I have tried. I like the 6ft 2 dock shooter. It cast really good and has a little more backbone to set the hook. The other rod I'm using is more for jigging vertical. It has more flex in the tip. I recommend the dock shooter for casting from the bank. it does a really good job. They also have dock shooters in longer lengths.

[@tonyknott3789]

Are you familiar with where the term shellcracker came from, is that what a red ear is?

[@FishYanker]

Yes sir. shell crackers eat snails in the water that are evasive and have parasites. Shellcrackers crunch them up. The Red ear name Iam not 100% sure of but I'm pretty sure it comes from the red line around its ear on the end of a gill plate. They are some strong fighters. Lots of fun.

[@tonyknott3789]

Wow! Are fishing public waters or a private pond?

[@FishYanker]

Cache River System

[@jordanallen2928]

@@FishYanker where's the best boat ramp to put in up there?

[@FishYanker]

Cache River bridge. Cache River is pretty muddy you have to go upstream go up into the Creeks until it starts clearing up.

[@JohnVessels]

Where are you fishing at???

The Cache River System in Arkansas

[@haydenbecker1978]

That’s a hybrid bluegill and redear

Cool, thank you. I wasn't to sure.

[@EugeneRobertConner]

We’re you using a slip bobber, I couldn’t tell.

Yes sir

Slip bobber, but it looks like it's pegged on the bottom too
